Definitions

  • FIG. 8 is a simplified schematic diagram illustrating the trajectories of electrons in the electron focusing lens as they are incident on a phosphor-coated display screen.
  • Electron gun 10 further includes a G 3 grid, a G 5 grid, and a G 7 grid, each of which is coupled to and charged by an accelerating anode voltage (V A ) source 14. Electron gun 10 further includes a G 4 grid and a G 6 grid, each of which is coupled to and charged by a focus voltage (V F ) source 12.
  • the accelerating voltage V A is substantially higher than the focus voltage V F and serves to accelerate the electrons toward a display screen 18 having a phosphor coating 26 on the inner surface thereof.
  • V F is typically 20%-40% of the anode voltage V A .
  • FIG. 4 there is shown the sectional view of the electron gun of FIG. 3 illustrating the electrostatic fields and forces applied to the electrons in the beam forming region 18 of the electron gun in accordancw with the present invention.
  • Equipotential lines are shown in dottedline form adjacent the G 2 grid, and in particular adjacent the limiting apeture 24 in the G 2 grid. From the figure, it can be seen that the recessed portions of the G 2 grid formed by first and second outer recesses 32, 34 adjacent the limiting aperture 24 form equipotential lines which bend inwardly toward the limiting aperture. Because the thickness of the G 2 grid is such that t G2 ⁇ 1.8 d G2 , the equipotential lines are essentially zero in the immediate vicinity of limiting aperture 24.
